Article Abstract

Multi-organ AL amyloidosis is a therapeutic challenge because of light chain deposits severely damaging the function of concerned organs. Cardiac involvement, which leads to concentric hypertrophy of both ventricles, is particularly severe and leads to poor prognosis regardless of combination chemotherapy. This case pinpoints the relevance of combining clinical, histological, and echocardiographic information in the management of this complex and life-threatening disease.

Background: Light chain multiple myeloma (LCMM) is a malignant hematological disease characterized by bone marrow infiltration by tumor plasma cells and the secretion of monoclonal free light chains (κ or λ). It is often di-agnosed through hypogammaglobulinemia detected by serum protein electrophoresis, followed by immunotyping showing a monoclonal band in free light chains. However, the structure of monoclonal light chains can sometimes complicate laboratory findings.

Background: Despite a surge in neuropathic pain (NP) biomarker research over the past 2 decades, the translation of discoveries into clinical practice remains slow. To understand this translational gap, we conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to map the field's evolution, intellectual structure, and strategic challenges.

Methods: We conducted a bibliometric analysis of NP biomarker-related publications from 2004 to 2024 using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database.

Flammulina velutipes is a major edible fungus with abundant yield and mature industrial production technology. Its main functional component, Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide, has huge development and utilization value. In light of the current uncertainty regarding the mechanisms by which Flammulina velutipes polysaccharides prevent colonic cell pyroptosis, the mechanisms of ultrasound-extracted Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide (FVPU2) in inhibiting colonic cell pyroptosis in mice were investigated, and compared with Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide extracted via hot water extraction (FVPH2).
